The Story of Stuff Project

/in , /by

Have you heard about The Story of Stuff video?

“The Story of Stuff Project’s journey began with a 20-minute online movie about the way we make, use and throw away all the Stuff in our lives.

We have a problem with Stuff. We use too much, too much of it is toxic and we don’t share it very well. But that’s not the way things have to be. Together, we can build a society based on better not more, sharing not selfishness, community not division.”

At Denbow, our services include recycling many different wood waste products that would otherwise likely be burned or fill landfills.  We use the materials we produce on various erosion and sediment control projects.  These applications save our soil from erosion and reduce sediment runoff in our water.  We believe that our “innovating naturally” solutions help us be better stewards.

Take the time to watch The Story of Stuff video… it will make you think!

Clayburn Village Project Profile

/in , , /by

The City of Abbotsford has an Integrated Stormwater Management Plan (ISMP) for the 2.5 hectare Clayburn Creek watershed. Flooding from Clayburn Creek is a problem in the lowland areas including Clayburn Village.  The City contracted Denbow to supply and install an EnviroDyke as an green option to assist with flooding.  Check out the project profile for more info and photos:

Denbow has worked with SOLEfood Farms installing soil into some of their urban gardens with our blower trucks.  We are happy to have had a part in implementing the concept of growing local produce in an urban setting.   For more info, read Seeds in the City: Urban Orchards Sprout Up in Canada.

Retaining Walls

Soil & Erosion magazine ran this interesting article about retaining walls – “The Right Wall for the Right Job”.

Our Cascadia Green Wall system is an excellent MSE alternative to block walls.  Check out our Cascadia website, as well as earlier news posts for more info and photos.

>July 4, 2013 – Cascadia Wall Installation

/in /by

We are currently building a Cascadia Green Wall system in Abbotsford at Straiton Mountain Estates.  This new development is “A Community At Home With Nature” and the Cascadia system fits perfectly with the natural elements of the area.

Cascadia is built using Filtrexx® FilterSoxx™ wrapped with geogrid which provides a continuous wall system that is both robust and flexible.

Cascadia lends itself to adjust to topographical conditions and is able to follow natural curves in the landscape.
